About this Song
Pop, as a global creative form that bends and adapts to the specific sensibilities of the scenes that nurture it, finds a vivid iteration in Be My Own Boyfriend, the sound rooted in the Philippines’ robust, dynamic pop landscape that has long contributed bold, unapologetic takes to the genre’s global canon. Unlike more insular regional strains that only circulate within local borders, the pop soundscape emerging from the Philippines draws from the genre’s core DNA while weaving in the cultural nuance that makes work coming out of the archipelago feel instantly distinct, even as it aligns with the throughlines that tie pop work from every corner of the world together.
